Flow

[Tankaholic]

Need help with flow for my tank. Dimensions are 340 Gallons 72x40x27.5 Wont be using a closed loop only a return pump. I will be having a mixed reef, sps, lps, softies. What streams would you recommend? Its also an acrylic tank so would you recommend a combination of wavebox and streams or only streams? Also where would you place the streams and wavebox, center overflow. Thanks !!

I would go with 2 6201's placed one in each back corner aimed to hit the front half way between the middle and the opposite corner. As for the waveboxes, how much room do you have for a wave? What is the space from the water line to the tank edge?

 

[Tankaholic]

Space between tank edge and water line is 1.25-1.30 inches. Thanks

Another question for you. Tunze streams in the usa what ac input do they accept? 100-240V or just 120V ?? Thanks

100-240V, it is auto adjusting as long as you get the new versions 6101 or 6201. If you wanted to add the wavebox you could use one wavebox and one wavebox extension. Since the tank is acrylic you will likely want magnet holders for everything.

Roger, I went with the TS48. I attached a sketch of how I would place them in the tank, Let me know what you think. Thanks for your help.

That might work, a lot will depend on corals and layout. It may be better to run the two inner 6101's parallel to the outer ones and alternate them using Interval one or two so each side runs for 6 hrs and they switch.
